Cooking method

• "Issue: a pound of skinny pork, ..." so they wrote in cookbooks of the century before last. And we will take lean pork and cook broth. In order to remove all the fat that appears out of nowhere, you need to cook the broth in advance, cool it and remove this hated fat. If this is not critical for you, skip this step and continue cooking cabbage soup. While the broth is boiling, we will put the cabbage to simmer in a pan or in a saucepan. We have already squeezed it out of the juice. If the cabbage is too sour, it should be washed, if it is without carrots (it also happens), the carrots will need to be sautéed along with the onions. My cabbage is wonderful, tasty, with carrots, because. that I do it according to the recipe Tumanchik "Sauerkraut without straining", for which many thanks to her! Pour about 2/3 cup of water into cabbage, add a few slices of dried apple (so that the smell is not so strong) and simmer over low heat, constantly adding water for about 50-60 minutes.
• In the meantime, we will prepare the rest of the products. We will clean and pass for very good. low heat for 1 tbsp. a spoonful of vegetable oil, finely chopped onions, adding st. a spoonful of dry sweet paprika. Peel and chop fresh bell peppers, garlic and herbs. After the broth is ready, we take out the meat, put the ready-made cabbage, add the green beans, boil it for about 10 minutes, then add the browned onions, boil for another 5 minutes, then we return the chopped portion to the pan. pieces of meat and add bell pepper, garlic and herbs. As soon as it all boils, taste and add salt, if necessary. After that, immediately turn off and cover the pan with a towel, leave for 20-30 minutes. Everything, our cabbage soup is ready, when serving, sprinkle with fresh herbs and we can add a spoonful of low-fat sour cream. Cabbage soup is obtained dietary due to the fact that we do not use potatoes and fats (except for tablespoons of vegetable oil), we do not fry anything, but only lightly sauté, and our broth is not saturated.

Note

I wanted to put this recipe in the "Healthy Food" section, but there is nothing but baked goods and desserts. This recipe is suitable for low-calorie and low-carb diets.

cool it down and remove that hateful fat.

Well ... We took thin pork, and then we also remove its fat, a fraction of which floats on the surface of the broth ... And what did the fats prevent us here with? It is now no secret that it is carbohydrates, not fats, that are harmful in diabetes. We need fats, including those of animal origin! And cholesterol is not as bad as they scared us. We also need it, from food, along with that which our body independently produces ...

KapetKonstantin, I would not like to discuss with you in the framework of our forum on the harm-benefit of fats and cholesterol. Please read the cooking method carefully:

If this is not critical for you, skip this step and continue cooking cabbage soup.

[Svetlana]

Svetlana, and what do you think, would not it be more rational to use this removed fat for browning instead of vegetable oil?
And it's not about calories. According to my recollections of the course of food chemistry, it was pork fat that was equated in biological value with vegetable oils, since it contains the same linoleic, linolenic and arachidonic essential fatty acids in a balanced amount for animals (including humans).

[Accomplishment]

AccomplishmentElena, I agree with you, but then you will not be able, for example, to put a spoonful of sour cream in these cabbage soup, because the fats (vegetable and animal) obtained in the daily regimen must be balanced, at least for diabetics and, unfortunately, the count is not in favor of animals. I'm only talking about diabetics.

after all, the fats obtained in the daily regimen (vegetable and animal) must be balanced, at least for diabetic

Wow, how strict everything is! Got it, thanks for the answer!

Pour about 2/3 cup of water into cabbage, add a few slices of dried apple (so that the smell is not so strong) and simmer over low heat, constantly adding water for about 50-60 minutes.

And at what stage should it be put into broth?

[Deva]

Deva, Helen, when the cabbage is stewed for 60 minutes, the broth will be ready, because it is boneless and during this time it will cook for itself. You can put cabbage in front of the beans or after them - it doesn't matter.
